STABLE Version 2009.3.8 (March 26, 2009)

    * Fix: Some defragmenters reported NTFS-3G created directories unmovable.
    * Fix: The Windows NTFS file system checker, CHKDSK, may reported "free space marked as allocated in the master file table (MFT) bitmap".
    * Fix: The driver may returned "No space left on device" error when there was still free space on the NTFS volume.
    * Fix: A file may got corrupted when the STANDARD INFORMATION attribute was moved to an extent MFT record. Only the already fixed Advanced NTFS-3G Driver had this problem, not the Stable NTFS-3G Driver.
    * Change: 10-50% faster file and directory creation, removal, copy, unpackaging performance.
    * Change: 500-1000% faster mount time. This is mostly noticable on multi-TB volumes and embedded devices. Please note, a generally 10-20 times faster performing NTFS-3G driver is available for embedded devices separately.
    * Change: Improved multi-cluster allocation, non-aligned file write performance.
    * Change: Improved volume consistency and recovery if the storage device was unsafely detached or powered down.
    * Change: Less disk space usage.
    * New: The version/-V command line option has been added.
